falls due LIST June next, of which $204, 600
will be paid from its sinking fund and that
the Commissioners may not be obliged to
force sale of real estate under their charge
the balance will be renewed in the above pro-

OF the municipal bonds the sum of sos, 500

one-half of said sum will be paid from the

The rate of taxation has decreased from

It will thus be seen that, while Portland

ment lof bonds speedily maturing, the de.

Another element of security is the Consti-

| 10th, 1877, forbidding cities and towns from
creating any debt in excess of five per cent
| of their valuation except for the purpose oil
renewing or paying the principal Of existing

In view of all these facts we take pleasure
